1815, May 26 PHILOGENE FAVROT, NEW ORLEANS, TO PIERRE- JOSEPH FAVROT, BATON ROUGE. ALS. 4 pp. French. Richmond. Dear Papa, As I told you, I had supper at Maxent's Tuesday night; as I said, I left around nine o'clock; as I said, I drifted along all night; as I had foreseen, I passed Lafourche a little before daybreak, a fact which prevented me from stopping there; as I said, I arrived at Terrence's Wednesday for dinner; as I said, I had supper at LeBlanc's, who, as I said, received me very nicely and, as I said, I left at ten o'clock and drifted all night; and, as I had not said, I arrived yesterday morning at Mr. Pr. [Pierre] Foucher's, where I had breakfast; then I had dinner at Fergus's. He and his family are in good health. I arrived here around six o'clock, as I expected. Church bells were ringing at full peal, pouring out an infernal noise. I thought the city was on fire; however, it was only Corpus Christi being celebrated.
